It is all agree that e-commerce
will be the key business model for the near future. It is also
well-known that the development of e-commerce is not to
the satisfaction of most I.T. professional. The key reason for
such phenomenon is the worry of the e-commerce security by
most of the potential e-commerce users.

Webtrust is a new assurance
services developed jointly by the AICPA of the United States
of America and the CICA of the Canada. It designed to build
trust and confidence between business and customers using the
Web. Based on general audit principles and standards and a set
of measurement criteria, known as AICPA/CICA WebTrust
Principles and Criteria for Electronics Commerce, specially
trained CPAs like us examine the website operator's business
methods and practice as they have been applied over a period
of time and assess the adequacy of security arrangements over
the website itself. If the site demonstrates that it has met
these criteria for at least 60 days, the CPA can issue a clean
opinion and the site can display the WebTrust
Seal as a proof of security assurance.

According to the latest
development of the WebTrust by the AICPA and CICA, updated
version 3 have successfully been developed . Unlike the old
version 2 that restrict the CPA to issue one single Seal that
cover all areas of tests, version 3 allow users the select the
area to be tested and obtained an individual seal for the area
that the test is successfully passed.

Following is the areas that
individual seal can be applied:

On-line Privacy

Security

Availability

Confidentiality

Non-repudiation

Business Practice/Transaction
Integrity

Certification Authority
